Kanye West “Controls” Kim Kardashian to Ensure Her and North West's Safety ...

In case you missed the memo, Kanye West is a bit of a control freak - a control freak who runs every aspect of his wife Kim Kardashian 's life.

So claims the rapper's stepbrother Hal Carmichael.

In a new interview, Carmichael says there's a reason why Yeezy is super protective of his bootylicious lady, 34, and their 18-month-old daughter, North West.

'Kanye constantly worries about Kim and North because he knows the kidnap risk is high,' he tells 'Heat' magazine. 'Because of the lifestyle they lead, he has to think about it carefully nowadays.

'Kanye controls Kim, like where she travels and what she does, to protect her. He thinks the more the public see of them, the more at risk they are.'

You know, because how did Kim survive all those years before she knew Yeezy, #amiright?!

Since Kim's famous for, well, being famous, the 37-year-old musician is well aware she has to be in the public eye, however, he's making sure to limit the amount of people in their entourage.

'Kanye and Kim want to be the next big power couple and that comes from exposure. Kim being on television is a compromise, but Kanye knows that's her career and he'll support her,' Carmichael shares.

He adds, 'Kanye keeps his inner circle tight - with North she'll only be looked after by her grandmother Kris [Jenner] or her aunties. They have a nanny as well, but North is kept around family. Kanye does this to protect her.''

And there you have it, folks. You can all rest easy tonight knowing Kimmy and co. are, like, so safe thanks to Yeezus.
